My Coaching Journey

I believe that my journey started as a life coach long before I decided to establish Single Candle Coaching, LLC. I have always been passionate about people. I know my parents would say that I have always been drawn to others, even as a young child, but for me my journey began in college.

I attended the University of Central Florida and majored in TV Radio Broadcasting. I envisioned myself as a news reporter back then, and that seemed like the right path for me. I loved interviewing people and telling their story verbally and/or through my writing. I believe that everyone has an interesting and helpful story to tell. After graduating from the University of Central Florida with my BA, I worked in the field for a bit before deciding to go back to college for my MSW degree and enter the multifaceted field of mental health. Some might say that was a drastic change in my career path, but I disagree. My passion for people was still the driving force behind the decision to go back to school.

My role as a licensed clinical social worker and therapist has varied over the years. But, each job role I have had has shaped me into the open-minded, enthusiastic, inquisitive, empathetic, and motivated professional that I am today. I had the opportunity to work abroad in London, UK for several years after receiving my MSW, which was a life changing experience for me. I became more aware of the cultural considerations that needed to be implemented in my practice. I have worked with children and adults as a mental health professional for over 20 years. I am now a certified life coach. I believe that my experience in journalism and in the mental health profession is an asset to me as a life coach.

As a working mother of four active children and a wife, I understand the importance of intentional planning. I believe that starting each day with intention is the key to success in any domain of life. I am a certified coach in the areas of Mindfulness, Emotional Intelligence, Confidence Building, Goal Setting, Life Purpose, and Happiness and Fulfillment. My mission is to help you reach your personal goals by helping you establish the actionable-intentional steps that need to be taken for you to do so, while also being a reliable and motivating accountability partner.
